Chemical Ideas 6.2What happens when radiation intracts with matter?
c = λν λ = wavelength m lambda c = speed of light = 3.00 x 108 m s-1 ν = frequency Hz ( or s-1 ) nu Use m for λ c λ ν
c = λν problems…. 1. Work out λ if v = 8.19 x 1013 Hz c = 3.00x108 m s-1
E = hν problems … • h = 6.63 x 10-34 J Hz -1 • Planck constant 2. If the frequency is 3.5 x 1013 Hz, what is the energy of each photon? 3. If E = 4.6 x 10-17 J per photon, what is the frequency (ν) of the radiation?
visible ultra violet E increases
1 2 3 4 What happens to electrons? Electrons absorb energy Electrons are excited Electrons move to higher energy level E = h v
Molecules are made of more than one atom but they still have electrons. Electronic transitions Vis + UV
There are vibrational energy levels as well as electronic energy level .. I.R.
There are rotational energy levels as well as electronic energy level .. microwave
Electronic transitions Rotational transitions Microwave Vis + UV I.R. Vibrational transitions
Note the range in Table 1, P130 C-F C-Cl C-Br
What could happen to a Cl2 molecule in the Atmosphere? Electronic transitions Visible Photodissociation radicals U.V. + Ionisation U.V.
